Taylor Swift detested her, but her third season is already number 1 in Netflix: Back ‘Ginny and Georgia’
The return of Ginny and Georgia It has been overwhelming. Just a few days after the premiere of its third season, the series has been placed in the first position of the Netflix global ranking, confirming the huge pull of this tragicomedy that mixes The light tone of teenage series with a much darker background. Despite its apparent simplicity, the story of this mother and daughter continues to catch millions of spectators worldwide.
The third installment takes up the plot just where the previous one ended: with Georgia arrested for murder in full wedding. The tension is immediate. In the new episodes, the judicial process for the death of the husband of Cynthia promises to become the center of the narrative, while Miller’s world staggers. As already anticipated in the trailer, this season he spares in drama, and raises new questions about the moral limits of his protagonists.
With Brianne Howey and Antonia Gentry leading an already consolidated cast, this new batch of chapters explores more thoroughly the emotional and ethical dilemmas of Georgia, while Ginny fights with the consequences of living in the shadow of his mother. “I am not a bad person. Everything is perception,” says Georgia in one of the key moments of advance, making it clear that the series will not abandon its provocative and ambiguous tone.
A joke without grace
The fiction was not exempt from controversy when their screenwriters made a little lucky joke at the expense of Taylor Swift. Everything took place at the end of the first season, at a time when Ginny’s character ended with her boyfriend, before what Georgina snapped: “What else gives, you change men faster than Taylor Swift.”
A dialogue that did not make the slightest grace to the popular singer, who soon respond Ginny & Georgina2010 called and wants them to return his vague and deeply sexist joke. What if we stop degrade working women defining this shit as funny? “He concluded.
The singer has expressed her discomfort in several occasions to the constant mentions of their past love relationships. In 2014, he publicly explained his disgust after a journalist asked him how he reacted to those who claimed that his songs revolved only around his former partners. For Swift, such questions Not only are reductionist, but also unfair with their artistic work. “I believe, frankly, that it is a very sexist angle. Nobody says that from Ed Sheeran. No one says about Bruno Mars. Everyone writes songs about their ex,” he replied.
The anger of the fans extended to the actress who plays Ginny (Antonia Gentry), filling the networks of racist comments. Something that made it necessary for some other fan to calm the waters by throwing more conciliators such as: “I love Taylor, but they should stop harassing Antonia, please leave her alone. He doesn’t deserve this “.
A long wait
Controversial on one side, the series has managed to recruit many unconditional fans along the way, being one of the favorites of the platform catalog. Now the new installment arrives, two and a half years after the end of the second, A difficult stop to justify for a series without great special effects No complex logistics demands. The delay has been attributed, in part, to contractual negotiations, restructuring of the creative team and, more recently, to the strikes that paralyzed Hollywood in 2023.
The wait, however, has been worth it. The public has responded with enthusiasm and visualization data has not taken long to reflect it. This season, which marks the debut of Sarah Glinski As Showrunner, it maintains the same emotional thriller tone that characterizes the series from its beginning, but adds a layer of maturity and narrative risk that raises the level of the proposal.
Ginny and Georgia Confirm, once again, that a blockbuster is not needed to capture global attention. With only ten episodes, a few scenarios and a focus on the characters, the series shows that There is still space for intimate stories in a dominated panorama because of the spectacular. Netflix, at least for now, has one of its strongest bets at the top of its catalog.
